Renal Optimization StrategiesEvaluation in Acute Heart Failure (ROSE AHF):A Randomized Clinical Trial Horng H Chen MD on behalf of the NHLBI Heart Failure Clinical Research Network
BackgroundAHF + Renal Dysfunction • Patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and renal dysfunction are at risk for inadequate decongestion and worsening renal function – factors associated with adverse clinical outcomes.
BackgroundLow dose dopamine • Low or “renal” dose dopamine may selectively activate dopamine receptors and promote renal vasodilatation. • Previous small studies suggest that low dose dopamine (2-5 g/kg/min) may enhance decongestion and preserve renal function during diuretic therapy in AHF.
BackgroundLow dose nesiritide • Nesiritide at recommended dose (2 g/kg bolus + 0.01 g/kg/min infusion) lowers blood pressure and does not favorably impact renal function or clinical outcomes. • Previous small studies suggest that low dose nesiritide (0.005 g/kg/min without bolus) may have renal specific actions which enhance decongestion and preserve renal function during diuretic therapy in AHF.
HypothesesNovel study design In patients with AHF and renal dysfunction: I. As compared to placebo, the addition of low dose dopamine (2 g/kg/min) to diuretic therapy will enhance decongestion and preserve renal function II. As compared to placebo, the addition of low dose nesiritide (0.005 g/kg/min without bolus) to diuretic therapy will enhance decongestion and preserve renal function.
Study Population • Diagnosis of AHF: • ≥1 symptom (dyspnea, orthopnea, edema) • ≥ 1 sign (rales, edema, ascites, CXR) • Enrolled within 24 hours of hospital admission • Estimated GFR of 15 - 60 mL/min/1.73m2 • Modification of diet in renal disease equation
Study Design Standardized Diuretic Dosing For 1st 24 hours 2.5 x Outpt Furosemide Equivalent in Divided (BID) IV Doses
Co-Primary Endpoints • Decongestion Endpoint: Cumulative urinary volume from randomization through 72 hours • Renal Function Endpoint : Change in serum cystatin-C from randomization to 72 hours
Secondary Endpoints Decongestion endpoints • Change in weight: randomization to 72 hrs, • Change in NT-proBNP: randomization to 72 hrs Renal function endpoints • Change in creatinine: randomization to 72 hrs, • Cardio-renal syndrome (↑Cr > 0.3 mg/dL) Symptom relief endpoints • Dyspnea VAS; AUC over 72 hrs Clinical endpoints • Drug tolerance • Adverse events
Statistical Methods • > 85% power to detect effect (p<0.025) of • 72 urine volume of > 1400 ml • Change in cystatin C of > 0.3 mg/L • Treatment comparisons by “intention to treat” • Multiple imputation for missing data. • Conservative framework for subgroup interaction testing (interaction p-value <0.01)

Low Dose Dopamine: Co-primary End-points 72 Hour Urine Volume Change in Cystatin-C
Low Dose DopamineSecondary Endpoints • No significant treatment effect on secondary endpoints reflective of: • Decongestion • Renal function • Symptom relief
Low Dose Dopamine Clinical Outcomes 60 Day Death/ Unscheduled visit/ HF Readmission 180 Day Mortality
Low Dose Nesiritide Co-primary End-points 72 Hour Urine Volume Change in Cystatin-C
Low Dose NesiritideSecondary Endpoints • No significant treatment effect on secondary endpoints reflective of: • Decongestion • Renal function • Symptom relief
Low Dose Nesiritide Clinical Outcomes 60 Day Death/ Unscheduled visit/ HF Readmission 180 Day Mortality
Conclusions • In patients with AHF and underlying renal dysfunction, when added to standardized diuretic dosing, neither low dose dopamine, nor low dose nesiritide, enhanced decongestion or improved renal function. • Future investigations of these or other acute heart failure therapies may need to assess the potential for differential responses in heart failure with preserved versus reduced ejection fraction.
